Private Islands by Type
The label attached to an island — tropical, lake, developed, resort — is shorthand for a very different set of obligations. A developed island transfers a working infrastructure system to you on day one. An undeveloped island transfers a construction project.
Use these categories to align the island with how you actually intend to use it.
